Why dont they (VM) just go full hog & "install" a VM rep inside your home, sat right next to you at your pc with a notebook & pen?
Its basically the same thing, whatever next from the 2 bit pile of donkey dung that they call a "BUSINESS"?? |

I have a theory.
There are a group of numpty's that travel from company to company with the sole intention of destroying it. At the moment i thinks its Virgins turn to have the numpty's working for them in the "What a good idea department" |
Re: Virgin Media Ad Deal - Would you be opting out?
I don't see any on-page/pop-up/pop-under ads, Firefox & AdBlock Plus are your friends.

Re: Virgin Media Ad Deal - Would you be opting out?
I got an ad blocking program on a disc that used to block all ads weather they were Embedded or pop up, if VM go ahead with this fool of a scheme i will just install it again

Ad block pop up blocker things aren't the answer though. You might not see the ad, but it is still there. The real concern is the system of generating the ad, which has somehow been monitoring your personal browsing habits. That is big brother territory. It's that monitoring that has to be prevented, not the ad itself.
By contrast, google adsense and other systems generate content relative to the page that is being read. Yes some may find those ads annoying, but they haven't intruded on private browsing habits to do so. All they know is what the website is displaying. |
